1 Kings 15:10

AbsalomMaachahJerusalem

8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
